About the Smart, Safe, Sustainable Summit
AI, personalisation, and guest experience will be the focal points at the Smart, Safe, Sustainable Summit in London on June 27. This annual flagship event will specifically reveal how AI is enhancing the booking and guest experience, and most importantly, it will explore the future of personalisation to enhance the overall travel experience. Additionally, we will discuss Gen Z and how companies should begin to plan and adapt for this tech-savvy generation that prioritises experiences.
AI and Guest Experience
Last year's Summit focused on how integrating technology can lead to more efficient booking methods. We heard from impressive speakers like PwC, who shared how streamlining their programmes resulted in a 30% cost reduction.
This year, the emphasis is on technology and enhancing the traveller's experience. From panel discussions in the main theater to product demos and breakout sessions, this year is centered on enriched experiences and uncovering Gen Z. We will unveil our latest product, AltoCore, our mobile app, and the diverse AI features designed to improve your performance. We will also share the stage with clients who have demonstrated great ROI since shifting to AltoVita's as their corporate accommodation solution.
Corporate travel and mobility managers, along with relocation companies, are invited to join us on June 27 to collaboratively explore the challenges surrounding AI, hyper-personalization, and Gen Z!

A Grand Stage for the Smart, Safe and Sustainable Summit
This year's Summit is set to take place at two of London’s most distinguished venues—The Odeon and The Londoner—a perfect fusion of charm and contemporary elegance.
